I do not own Eyeshield 21!

HiruMamo :) a lonely angel and a hopeful devil

Most times, she was alone.

It was good that she was alone. She can remove her mask and let herself fall through. She is broken, deep inside... and everyday, she must wear a mask. To keep all happy and blissfully unaware of the hurt she hides inside. She harbors these dark thoughts and feelings... unable to release them to the world.

She had started with a facade of unfailing strength. It was a grave mistake on her part. She should've just played the part of the fragile porcelain doll she resembles. An innocent, precious angel. That way, if she ever crumbles, no one will be beyond surprise. After all, everybody else is playing the strong protagonist... why can't she play the part of damsel in distress?

She is alone, and in her lonesome, she cries her misery. She is safe in the dark. Tears stream freely down her smooth cheeks. She wishes for an angel, even for a devil, to come to her aide. She wishes for a prince, even for a dragon, to come whisk her away from her lonely existence.

She is never, if not rarely alone. But she is lonely. In the warm night, she is cold. In the cold nights, her heart is freezing over.

She is grateful... that she is away from her family. She does not want them to see her broken this way... beyond repair... beyond hope. She is selfish, in keeping them in the dark. For she believes that they do not deserve her broken self... her family deserved only the best. So she chooses to wear her mask everyday, to hide the lonely angel from the world.

Chapter 1 is up. Chapter 2 still in the works. :) Read and review people. I need to know my strong and weak points. Though there isn't much to judge here in this chapter... :p
